M992A2 Ammo Carrier…
t
he fire wire in the lower front of the engine compartment of some M992A2 ammo
carriers has some extra slack, mechanics.
During production, that slack was coiled
up in the corner of the engine compartment to keep it from getting cut or damaged.
Problem is, the extra wire was supposed to be formed into a dip at the front of the
engine compartment to provide better fire coverage.
If your carrier has a serial
number of 821 or higher, you’ll
need to secure the extra wire the
next time the powerpack is
removed.
Just gather all the
slack in the middle of the engine
compartment and clamp the fire
wire in place to the existing boss
on the carrier’s hull.
Here are the parts you’ll need:
